I give my little sister money for her birthday every year. her b'day is relatively close to Christmas, and she lives out of town, so this year, she gets her birthday gift before we open Christmas gifts tomorrow morning.

I've put 100 index cards, 40 empty envelopes, 20 sheets of random paper, and all the scraps from my paper shredder in a shoebox. I've taped two index cards together, with a dollar bill between them, in the hopes that she finds it and spends another 10 minutes senselessly searching through the rubbage.

at the bottom of one of the sides of the box, I've written "to find your money, look for cold, hard cash."

It'll take her forever to see it. It's written small in a strange place at the bottom of a box of junk.

In the freezer, I've got a huge block of ice in a Tupperware container, with $25 wrapped in foil in the middle of it.

With our family, you work for your money.

Nothing fancy but clothes, a Manning family ESPN DVD, a Devotional Book. Just having my family around is all I need!

I spread joy and merriment to all that I encounter all year long. I don't need to keep it just for Christmas.

What's great is that you've claimed to have me on ignore.

What's great is that you clearly do not understand what I was saying in that other thread. Either because you're incapable of doing so, or you just want to take the opposite approach of anything I've said because you want to be that guy.

EDIT: Also great, your image hasn't been showing up for me. Fail.

Got new slippers, pajamas and a bottle of glenmorangie.

Couple other little things like whiskey stones.

What are whiskey stones?

Literal stones, typically cubed and small, that you put in the freezer, then in your beverage. Keeps your beverage cold without watering it down.

Now that is pretty cool. I looked online, but I saw something that was a soap so I got a little confused.

And honestly, the best thing I got for Christmas was a phone call from a friend I've fallen out of touch with and we caught up with each other for about an hour. Much better feeling than anything I could have unwrapped.

EDIT: And that has been my point Captain.
